WFO!!

Having way to much fun aboard the F/V Huntress this week😄.. Found some new spots! whether giving us a break and we can't keep em off the line, hearing a lot of people *****ing about small fish.. We're not having that issue😎. But we're also fishing different area!! Get off the couch and get out here! Gotta write em down in 3 days! Good luck

Caught these this am "Easter Sunday" on a solo mission in about 15 mins of fishing, small one came from next to the Jack up Rigg and the big one came from 12 yards off the beach right in front of the hot tub at lands end resort .. F/V Huntress👍🏻

Nemo, I heard you only run 3 rods even with 4 or more clients, is that true? Awesome results! You consistently find fish when others seeing smaller fish.

Yukon! We ran 3 rods for 10 years, allowed us to turn tight and fish up against rocks and in channels and not have to worrie about tangles.. However we did get a few complaints .... As most operators will if enough time spent guiding, that they wish we ran more rods, so two seasons ago now I out fitted my boat with a pair of 18 foot schedule 80 3 inch aluminum out riggers and that allowed us to pull up to 7 if I wanted to but we pull 5 comfortably , we went from having a 15 foot wide spread to now a 43 foot wide spread and my gear is far enough a part that I can still spin on a dime and not tangle everything up , it's also nice when fishing up against cliffs to be able to reach a set up right up next to rocks and be able to keep boat out and away a bit, some of our kings are 2 feet off the bank👍🏻 good luck

I have to deliver some downrigger balls to Homer tomorrow.
While I'm down there I 'll be out on the Sweet T with captain Ron Hurley.
Most likely see you on the water Josh.
Hopefully the weather and the fish cooperate.

I sure wish there was a like tab on here like on Face Book

I know you can get rep points, I've received but dont know how to actually give them myself.

Always wondered that myself. I also belong to Washington fly fishing forum and we have that. Also get alerts to new post from ones you started or responsed to. Maybe that is a suggestion to give Michael?

Season over!!! Best winter season we have ever had!! Zero injuries, Zero break downs, and far as we know, no complaints 👍🏻 Will be back in May to run a handful of halibut trips but already can't wait for our next winter season!! Be safe out there and don't forget to write your kings down now! Cheers

Zero injuries and zero breakdowns make for a perfect season regardless of catch. Congrats on the success this year!

Hello folks!! Just got out of the shop, first trip out 4-19-16. I always wonder when I make mods to the Huntress if she will still fish the same.. Well the answer nothing changed!! Spectacular trip for this light group yesterday, and this fella from Colorado's first 2 fish bites he ever had in his life! 30 lb King started him off and shortly after a 50 plus lb halibut😎. He is a fisherman for life now.. That's the magic of the Huntress.... See you all on the water👍🏻
